If you love chocolate then this easy dessert is right up your alley.

They certainly are up mine and, as you can see, Shannon Zimmerman agrees too!

Make these Extreme Chocolate Brownies.These made from scratch brownies are way better than the box mixes. Get this. It uses  2 bags of chocolate chips. Now you can see why they are so extreme.
